Refreshing Beyond Inclusion
When SFU鈥檚 Morris J. Wosk Centre for Dialogue first published the internationally-recognized resource Beyond Inclusion: Equity in Public Engagement in 2020, we knew the work was just beginning.
As we describe in the introduction to this guide, 鈥渙ur collective understanding of inclusion, accessibility and equity continues to evolve over time. Thus, instead of presenting these principles as a static and prescriptive set, we offer them as an invitation (or provocation) for ongoing conversation.鈥
For the past five years we have been engaging in that 鈥渙ngoing conversation鈥 as we shared Beyond Inclusion with thousands of practitioners around the world, as well as within our own practice as engagement consultants. We have encountered stories of success and failure, unsolved questions emerging from societal shifts and technological innovations and new academic and community-driven research into inclusion and equity.
We are very excited to launch a project to refresh Beyond Inclusion, while expanding the toolkit to address gaps and support application. Our ambitions include:
- Updating the Beyond Inclusion guide to include new resources and guidance
- Developing a series of primers that tackle common questions and challenges, such as approaches to multilingual engagement, the meaning of trauma-informed practices, and considerations for ethical compensation.
- Developing a 鈥減laybook鈥 of case studies in a new format to allow for ongoing additions
- Sharing planning and evaluation tools that draw from real-world applications of the guide (for a sneak peek, see the Maturity Model for equitable inclusion).
Creating Beyond Inclusion was a collaborative effort, and we hope you will join us in shaping its future. As a starting point, we invite you to participate in our to share feedback on the Beyond Inclusion guide, questions on your mind, as well as any resources or case studies that you feel could inform this work.
Stay tuned on Dialogue Dispatch for more opportunities to participate, as well as ongoing updates.
